    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

    Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

    By the way, the WN3000RPv3 hardly qualifies as a "new router". It is the latest version of a wifi range extender released in 2015 but based on something from 2012.

    What router are you setting it up with?

    Just an FYI, that wn3000rpv3 is a pretty old and slow wireless extender. I wouldn't expect much speed from it and your router by itself might work better than trying to use that extender.
